Certain features of metal surfaces can stop the process of oxidation in its tracks, new research has found. The findings could be relevant to understanding and perhaps controlling oxidation in a wide ...

FOR some time past the Metallurgical Research Board of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has been devoting special attention to the oxidation and scaling of heated metals. A ...

New knowledge has been gained about the behavior of metal nanoparticles when they undergo oxidation, by integrating X-ray imaging and computer modeling and simulation. This knowledge adds to our ...

Attention is drawn to the importance of the structure of the surface layer of oxygen adsorbed at the oxide/oxygen interface in determining the laws of growth of thin oxide films on metals. Recent work ...

Hitachi Metals Ltd says it has developed metal interconnect materials with higher oxidation resistance and strength for use in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). Interconnects, an important component ...

Oxygen usually has an oxidation state of -2 in compounds. There are exceptions, such as in peroxides (e.g., H2O2), where it ...

BINGHAMTON, NY - With documented public water problems in Flint, Mich., and Hoosick Falls, N.Y., caused by corrosion, understanding how copper is affected at the atomic level is critical to avoiding ...

The metal atoms are losing electrons to form an ion. They are being oxidised. \(Mg(s) \to Mg_{}^{2 + }(aq) + 2e_{}^ - \) This is known as an ion-electron equation. Reduction is the opposite of ...
